Dakota slowly drifited into sleep a bit later

Elijah takes Ethan away slowly, so that he wouldn't fall

Dakota had a nightmare creep up onto her where she couldn't save Ethan or Elijah from....someone. The image was blurry and she couldn't tell who it was exactly, only that they were threatening her beloved and cherished family with a gun and she failed them

Elijah held Dakota's hand, rubbing it gently. He continued to watch over her

Dakota's expression turned to one of pain and hurt

Elijah kisses her head, hoping to comfort her in her sleep

Dakota kept going through the nightmare for a few hours, once even whimpering in her sleep before settling down and waking up

Elijah holds her hnad, continuing to stroke it in a comforting manner

Dakota was able to easily open her eyes this time, looking at Elijah. A very small, soft smile began to tug at her lips. "Hey..." She said tiredly

Elijah looks over as he hears her speak. "How are you feeling love?"
